During the production of motor and gearbox housings, brushes are used to efficiently remove burrs. Tube brushes are used to deburr holes and internal threads.

During this process, the tread is first removed, after which the surface of the remaining rubber casing is roughened. Brushes play a crucial role in this procedure, ensuring the quality and safety of the retreaded tires.

High-quality velour and felt contribute to a pleasant atmosphere in the automotive industry and offer excellent sound insulation, for example in vehicle roof linings. The production of this premium velour and felt involves the use of special brush segments in tenter frames, ensuring a perfect textile finish. KOTI supplies needle-felt brush segments designed to be sewn into a continuous, homogeneous brush belt.

During cutting processes, KOTI brushes quickly and cleanly remove waste particles from cylinder liners. Another common application is the cleaning of catalytic converters. Tube cleaning brushes are often used for cleaning (drilled) holes, while steel wire brush discs are used to clean surfaces.

Brushes for seals have various applications, such as protection against dust, water, light, heat, sound, and dirt. An example of this is the wheel arches of buses, where brush strips ensure that dirt and water do not splash against the inner wall.

The transporting of car parts, such as metal sheet metal, requires care and precision to prevent damage during transport. Brush plates and brush rollers ensure that parts arrive safely and efficiently at their destination. This is essential for a smooth production and maintenance process in the automotive industry, where quality and timeliness are paramount.

Our brushes are used for removing dust and antistatic charge. Fine dust is a common problem in the automotive industry, especially during coating. Even the smallest dust particles must be removed to prevent irregularities in the paint. Since static charge attracts dust, it is essential to eliminate this as well. Brushes offer a safe and reliable solution for both problems. Brush rollers with ostrich feathers remove dust and prevent static charge during the automated production process.

For the production of aluminum components in the decorative sector, brushes can be applied to create certain effects on foot steps or trunk edges, for example. Bevel brushes help with structuring and smoothing of surfaces.
